It's actually called a TH. It's a UH-1H fusalage with the nose section, tailboom, transmission and rotors from a UH-1N model grafted on to it. The Air Force helicopter pilots do their initial flight training on them. It's a very robust helicopter.

Thanks, Very nice. Tail Rotor placement is a dead giveaway. :fpalm The Modification's are definitely an upgrade to the H model. Learn something new every day.
 
A plane I was involved with the maintenance with for a few years. I took this picture when we were on the way to Antarctica for a few months.

These fascinated me as a kid watching them land at DCA's short crossing runway. they would turn off onto a taxiway in a seemingly impossibly short landing rollout. If you could even call it a roll out!
